I didn't cloth diaper my first and we traveled a lot. We bought huggies overnight diapers for the car because regular disposable diapers leak really bad when the kid is in her carseat for more than an hour. We haven't gone on many long car rides with this baby but we tend to use prefolds with econobum covers. We'll have to see how that works out as she keeps getting bigger.

So far, any traveling we've done has also included easy access to a washing machine, so I've taken my regular stash, mostly BG 4.0's and FB OS. We are taking a weekend trip soon with no access to a washing machine and I'm thinking of trying GroVia Biosoakers so that I don't have to bring home a load of dirty diapers!

I tried to use the grovia inserts in my thirsties covers but they leaked horribly! I definitely want to try the flip disposable inserts and covers because now we use regular disposables. I have never traveled with cloth but maybe next time will be brave enough to try.

To answer the question...disposables! We just started clothe diapers this year...haven't been on a road trip...not til the 2nd weekend of Feb. A little bit nervous for it! Can't wait to see the answers to this one.

For vacation, I have used gdiapers which I did not love as we were at the beach. After that, I just used my bg's and took along my charlie's soap for washing. It has always worked well for us. Would love to be able to use a system that offers a disposable insert though and I gave up on gdiapers 3 children ago.

We have used disposables, disposables with a PUL cover over top, GroBabys and occasionally for a short haul flight a regular diaper (BK fitted and PUL or wool cover). I find for a long trip I like the disposable and cover, though if I had inserts I would probably use them instead since it is carrying a wet bag of dirties in our limited carry ons that I object too.

For day travel or overnight we use our BG4.0. I am traveling for a week and we are using disposables because I can't do laundry where we are and we are doing disposables for ease of use. I wanted to try flip for our trip, but didn't order in time and don't have the money to spend on them right now.

Our son was 2 months old when we went on our first trip. We figured the first road trip was enough stress...so we used disposables. We did 3 road trips at ages 2,3,4 months and used the sposies. At 5 months I bucked up and took our cloth stash! I stuck with our BG and Flip organic and stay-dry inserts (Flip sposie insert while driving). I left the econobum at home...didn't want to deal with extra bulk. We've stuck with the cloth for traveling ever since! I should also add that all our traveling has to been to relatives homes or a beach rental home...so washer/dryer access was not an issue. I'd be nervous using a public laundry service. We're planning our first family vacation (just the 3 of us) and one of our lodging criteria is to have washer/dryer in our hotel/condo/rental home. :)

When we travel, we use the same system we use at home--one size pocket diapers--and 2 large wet bags (one for the clean diapers and one for the dirty ones). We have enough diapers for 3-4 days and have never been gone for longer than that.

This weekend is our first time traveling more than an hour in the car, so I have been asking myself this question all day. I am going to try the flip we have. The flip is what I always reach for, so I could use winning this one.
